| [SHAFAQ] Protestors set the vicinity of the Iranian consulate building in Karbala on fire, following the liquidation of activist Ihab al-Wazni. Video clips and photos showed dozens of protesters gathering and burning tires near the building. Earlier today, two unidentified individuals riding a cycle of violence bumped off al-Wazni in front of his home situated on the street of al-Haddad in the city center. Ihab al-Wazni, the Responsible for the Coordination of the protests in Karbala, is known in most circles that oppose corruption and mismanagement and call for the limitation of Iran's influence and gangs around Iraq. Since the outbreak of the "October Revolution" protests in 2019, Iraq has witnessed numerous liquidations, kidnappings, and threats against the organizers of the protests. Following the killing of al-Wazzani, demonstrations took the streets of Karbala, Nasiriyah, and al-Diwaniyah in southern Iraq. |
